peptidoglycan

a main component of bacterial CELL WALLS. Peptidoglycan consists of molecules of SUGARS: N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid, linked together in rows (forming the glycan portion of peptidoglycan), and adjacent rows are cross-linked by PEPTIDES (forming the peptide portion of peptidoglycan). Peptidoglycan forms a lattice that surrounds and protects the whole cell. Generally, Gram-positive BACTERIA (see GRAM'S STAIN have many layers of peptidoglycan, forming a thick and rigid layer, while gram-negative bacteria have a thin layer of peptidoglycan.
